It is either done at that stage or you schedule another time slot to continue. It's pretty effective because it makes you focus on what's important, avoid overruns and can be a tool against procrastination. Also because each of us have busy lives, finding the free periods between commitments to do little things during these "null" times can make you more effective. For me, I definitely prefer doing things in shorter time periods, but more frequently. BTW, if you're interested in time boxing, check out my post: http://www.davecheong.com/2006/07/26/time-boxing-is-an-effective-getting-things-done-strategy/ The converse to this argument is the problem of switching contexts. I think our brains can only juggle a limited number of things concurrently. So the more often we go in and out of contexts (ie excercising), the more time and energy we have to spend on switching contexts. dave Hi,

I can understand if you attend a gym or have to drive to workout, but if you consider many buildings have stairs you could climb for 10 minutes, you could easily squeeze in 2 workouts at work.

At least, I am more prone to accept doing exercise if it takes me only 10 minutes. I am quite lazy and this is much easier for me to do.

LOL So maybe I should try 3 x 10 on the days when it's going to be 0 x 30. I could get my ratio up. ;-) I agree with Martin. I’m on the 1 x 30 plan. Actually. . sometimes it’s the .3 x 30 plan. .

My current 30 minute sessions extend to about an hour after adding in walking to/from the gym and showering. Having to do that three times a day would probably make the 30 minute "session" turn into an hour and a half. 1×30 works better for me because of the overhead involved.
